This is a taste test/review of the new Pillsbury Mini Pies in Apple Cinnamon, Chocolate Lava and S'mores flavors. They taste just like an apple pie, except they are mini sized and easy to eat. They are great to take to a party because there is not cutting and serving needed. I think their pretty tasty too! My hubby loves to eat them warm with vanilla ice cream on the side.
